A Bearish Feeling That-Changed Laj5r
During the Course of the Market It
Was Cansed by the Government
Tteport Upon Crops.
Chicaoo, May U. The, wicat-trado wras
quite bearlsbly disposed vvlidn the board
opened, but it changed later. 'AH of the
eaily offerings wore absorbed by 2"cw York
and St. Louis people and by various large
traders here. The early selling was because
of the bearish Government crop report is
sued Saturday and because of the line
weather. The buying later was because of
light receipts at Dulnthund Minneapolis and
because of a reported abolition of two
thirds of the Spanish import duty on
flour. Additional dispatches were- re
ceived telling of damage by hot
winds to the corn and oats crops
of Hungary. The shorts were made nervous
also by the fact that the May future, w idened
out one time to almost 5c premium over
the July and by tho early indications that
there-w ould bo a heavy decrease in the visi
Die supply, though the figures when posted
showed only a small one. July opened at
97BQ99c, or'a shade above Saturday's close,
broKe to98Xo and then advanced to 99c
After hanging around 99Ko to 99io for a
long time it Jumped to $1 OOX and then fell
back to99Xc.
Jicports of damage by bugs.in Kansas, fears
for the crop on account of dry weather in
Minnesota, and deterioration in condition in
Michigan, sufficed to raise the price to $1 Wi,
but the sales at this flgui e were so large tha t
it dropped back to 99c. It appeared thirt
the largo traders were scalping tlio market.
They overwhelmed the trade w ith offerings
at $1 but were disposed to buy at ilc bo
low that price. Tow ard tho closo the bears
threw a lot of grain on the market and broke
tho price to 9 but it rallied K closing
easy.
Com opened weak. a3 the result of flno
growing weather and receded for a while;
later, w hen w heat advanced, com rallied in
svmpathv. Julv opened at 68, nold off to
87? ic, miffed to 39c. receded to tho opening
price mid closed steady.
Oats started weak with other grnlns and
then ranged higher. Beroro the close, as in
wheat and com, all of tho advanco was lost.
Provisions started weak because of tho
large run of hogs at tho .yards, but they bud
a lceble little rally in sympathy with grains.

last two weeks at least three wealthy busi
ness men have purchased fino residences in
one of the outer wards and will occupy them.
They, ns w ell as citizens generally, have con
fldcucein thefuturo of the city. Development
may bo trammeled by causes wholly inde
pendent of business conditions, ns is tho
caso at present, but with a demand for busi
ness stands and dwellings out of all ordi
nary proportion to the supplv, there is no
danger or n reactionary movement. The in
stances given last week of ownors putting
higher values on their property confinn this
opinion.
i,It,,8noVDr too early or tnopportuno for
the home-seeker to act. His greatest mu
tcrtalnccd Is a home of bis own where ho
enn set up ids lares and ponatesaud bo Inde
pendent of landlords, ho and his family
after him. It is doubtful if ho over will
have a bettor opportunity to becotno a pt o
priotor than tho present tlmo affords. Good
and cheap lots may bo hud In every quarter
of tho city nnd surrounding districts, but
tho supply is not inexhaustible. They aro
being picked up very fast. More than 1,000
have been purchaso'd and withdrawn from
the maiket within a month. With such ndc
ninnd prices must harden. Therefore
hotno-sockers can gain nothing by delay.

MM SEGUEITIES.
Westmghouse Electric Moves Up Drift of
Opinion Concerning the Beorganization
Plan Other Stocks Strong, With
Some Very Material Gains.
Electric was the feature of the local stock
market yesterday. It opened stronger than
Saturday's close, but fell back at the second
call. Later it rallied and sold up to 15K,
which was the bid at the finish. At 12 o'clock
It opened at 15-, Bold down to 14, firmed up
and closed at 16 bid; offered at 16. Here the
feeling was so unsettled, owing to the short
ness of tho time for the full digestion of Mr.
Westinghouse's circular, that both sellers
and buyers observed a hesitating position.
Tho result was that both offers nnd bids
w ere restricted to a narrow compass.
The advance was an agreeable surprise to
some who expected a break. One broker
said ho Lad looked for tho stock to drop to
12 or below. The fact that it enhanced un
der Jthe circumstances seems tojshow that
the great bulk of the stock is In strong
hands, and that it will bo sustained against
any feverish influence likely to be arrayed
against it.
So far as could be ascertained the drift of
opinion oif'Change and on the street, wns
favorable to the reorganization -plan as sub
mitted by Mr. Westinghousc It was con
tended by thoso favoring the plan that,
since the company virtually confessed its
inability to pay on the full amount, no addi
tional risk would be rnn in surrendering 40
per cent of tho common stock, slnco this
might enable the company to recoup and
make the 60 per cent retained more valuable
than the whole The new names associated
with the reorganization scheme wpro re
garded jib a guaranteevof economical and
vigorous' management! .. .
The question was raised by severalbrokers
whether tho company had a legal right to
discriminate in the matter of dividend, be
tween those who make the required sur
render and those who may refuse. This is
purely a legal question, and if pushed must
be decided by the courts. One of the most
experiencodln-okers held that the company
could get over the difficulty by scaling the
dividend to a 60 per cent basis, whether
stock be surrendered or not. The right to
do this seems to be undoubted. This would
cut off tho 40 per cent the samoaMf it had
been turned in to the company as requested.
The rest of tho list was strong, and several
properties higher, notably Airbrake, Hidal
go, Manufacturers' Gas and tho Tractions.
Final prices in nearly all cases were tho best
of the day. Sales were: ,, ,... ..

Some Improvement In the Call for Loans
Local Bank Reserve.
While there was nothing especially stirring
in local finances yesterday, bankers reported
a fair run of discounts nnd somo improve
ment in tho call for loans. Funds wero
abundant;, nnd rates ranged from 57pcr
cent. Exchanges were $2,522,624 18 and bal
ances $303,766 06.
A cushler remarked: "Whilo gold ship
ments discourage for tho moment bullish
tendencies, and while it is always better to
have capital coming in than going out, tho
outflow causes no apprehensions of a strin
gency. In fact, this is impossible in tho pres
ent condition of tho home money maiket.
It will all come back to us by the time it is
needed."

A. Hesitating Market Which Lea to the
Most Pronounced Strength The List
Higher Than Last Week Caused by
Advices From Abroad.
New York, May 1L Tho stock market to
day began the new week with more activity
than usual of late, while a hesitating and
wreak tone wns displaced by the most pro
nounced strength which reached almost
everything traded in, and caused advances
which left the list materially higher than
tho closing of last week. The advices from
abroad over Sunday were not such as to give
much encouragement to buy stocks,
but beyond some bear pressure to sell
there wns lit) disposition of consequence
shown by holders this morning to part
with stocks, nnd the early weakness may be
attributed entirely to efforts of the reaction
ist. The declining tendency in early deal
ings was materially helped also by the weak
ness in tho Industrials, and especially in
Cordagp and Chicago Oas. The dawnvvard
movement in the former was helped by the
publication of an article showing that most
of the manufacturers of cordage aro outside
of the trust, and the price of the stock, un
supported by the manipulators, fell away
to 94, after selling at 101 last 'week.
Chicago Gas showed less weakness and its
loss was smaller.' London came in as a
buver of stocks, however, tho puichases
boing accompanied by assurances that
Bussia would do nothing more to disturb
the financial situation m Europe. This
encouraged the bulls agaiirand they showed
their band in theaftcrnoon by buying stocks
all along the Hue, the business done being
larger than for many days and the improve
ment in prices most Important. The shorts
wero driven to cover in many of the leading
shares, the Grangers, Louisville, Missouri
Pacific, Wheeling and Lake Erie, and
some specialties showing marked strength.
The ,tnurket gave every appearance of
having turned bullish again, and the buying
was of the most excellent character in all
the stocks mentioned, while even, the weak
stocks of tho forenoon rallied and closed
higher, with the exception of Cordage. The
opening prices were irregularly changed
from thoso of last Saturday and the early
losses in the regular list w ere confined. to
fractional amounts with the exception of
Chicago Gas, which lost IV per cent. The
advanco from the lowest figures reached 3
per cent, and the upward movement met
with no chock during the day, tho final fig
ures being at or about the highest feelings.
At the close business was much better and
the bulls are again confident of a further ad
van coin prices.

M.onday'8 usual quietness was reported
at the commission houses. The straw
berry supply promises to be ample
this week, and prices aro already lower than
at tho closo of last week. A very flno quality
of Virginia berries was offered at 15c per
qdart, and were not very active at this
figure.' Supply of new Ohio cheese has not
yet caught up to tho demand. New domestic
Sweitzer cheese will not bo duo for a week
to come, with the exception of Wisconsin
bulk, which has been on tho market for a
few days past. Old Sweitzer is still in'falr
supply. Old potatoes aro easier and a shade
lower. New Southern potatoes have been
coming to our markets in small quantities
for a week past and will be plenty before the
month is gone. In tropical fruit lines,
oranges and lemons are reported weaker,
and bananas firm. The recent cool weather
has been unfavorable to lemon trade, and
California oranges arriving of late havo
shown poor keeping qualities, and for this
reason have been forced on the markets in
larger quantities than demanded.

Drygoods Market.
New York Business In drygoods opened
with more activity and a better feeling. The
weather was favorable for retailers and mall
orders at first and second hands brought
forward a fair general demand for
goods to meet current wants. Trans
actions of buyers on the spot had
reference chiefly to articles for tho fall
trade and drygoods, flannels, and blanket
orders were placed with some freedom.
Cotton flannels' also received attention and
are fairly well engaged for tho season.
Very few fall ginghams aro yet shown, but
some orders have been placed by buyers.
Staple cottons, particularly brown and
colored, were in fair demand for prompt de
livery. Prices are unchanged and more
steady.

The quality or these goods has won for them the,
most enviable reputation, securing for JOHNB,

One of the strongest features or this business Is
that every hat manufactured Is upon advanco
orders, and, notwithstanding the large capacity of

orders received, hence there is not a dollar Invested
or Jeopardized In dead stock. The stock In trade at
any time consists, therefore, exclusively of goods

clpally In fur, whoso value actually Increases tha
longer Jt Is kept In stock.
Mr. Stetson has made extraordinary provision
lor the welfare of his employees. At his own cost
he has established upon property contiguous to tha
works a library and reading room for
their use; a savings bank and a building
society to encourage thrift: a surgery
and j,,, dispensary, under v competent practU
llonjirs;, amliliandjoma chapel, where the fami
lies or the employees attend service and Sunday
school; moreover, he lias provided for the support
and maintenance or these Institutions after his
death v Thl Insures the continuance of these unus
ual and beneficial provisions without cost to tha
company. Noue or the employees are members of
any trade uvjlon, and the business Is never affected
